I've not used this device, but in emails with others what I gather is that
you need to make sure it's not in self-test mode and that the registers
(scaling, etc.) are set correcty, and that it's not in sleep mode, then
trigger it to take a sample. Until then, the default values are all zeros.

Or put it into continuous sample mode.

So go and read the fine manual before writing it off!
